Reading

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Libra · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus True Node · sextile, orb 0.66°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.34°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Venus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.96°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 2.26°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.61°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  6. True Node Lilith · trine, orb 1.62°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
